9/10, ha! My assumption proved true: all other things being equal, the
correlation between age/quality of the photograph and the answers was
pretty good. :)

I loved that one. :> This line especially cracked me up: "Then Jorge
offered me a very attractive package, and I decided it was in my
interest to act."
Huh-heh. "Package". Huh-heh.

From Carol:
The UK power company Powergen opened a division in Italy. Combining the
name "Powergen" and "Italia", they created this website...wait for it...
www.powergenitalia.com
(and the people responsible for sacking the people responsible for that
name have been sacked)

There *is* a Powergen Italia, but it has no connection to the UK company
Powergen. See: http://www.snopes.com/business/names/powergen.asp
The entry notes a couple fun examples of other sites with unfortunate
names, like www.whorepresents.com (Who Represents) and
www.expertsexchange.com (they recently changed their domain name to
www.experts-exchange.com).

I used to work in a department whose formal title was: General Electric
Medical Systems Healthcare Information Technology -- GEMSHIT.
Unfortunately someone eventually caught on and they dropped the
Healthcare bit. :)

I worked for a short time for ANS, where one of my coworkers
invented the slogan "ANS: All that's missing is you."

I'm told that for a while NAD Electronics' marketing slogan was "Go
NAD!" I have no way of verifying this, however.

We once had the choice between "Eng. Process Team" and "Eng. Process Group".
We chose the latter. Does anyone know why? ;-)

i dunno, i think one would *want* to be known as EPT. unless, of course, one
wasn't (in which case they might *want* to be known so even more. . .)
